Hi ladies, after stalking every one else’s threads for months I’ve decided to make my own 😄 Im 7DPO today and have had 2 negative tests so far. Im 31, and we’ve been ttc for about 4 months now. I know it’s a bit too early to test so I’m staying hopeful. I just want to hear from anyone who’s in a similar situ so we can offer some support for each other ☺️ x

@Egsnow I know a lot of people on here buy the cheap strips on line and then use a first response to back it up. First response aren't too expensive on Amazon but I wouldn't want to use too many each month lol

Egsnow · 14/11/2022 19:14

Keep us posted @carsty and @Beepops22 and fingers crossed none of us are out of the game this month!
Are people using a particular brand to test? I stood in teaco and stared and the selection and I'm thinking it could get very expensive to keep buying the clear blue ones. Anyone got any experience with the supermarket own brands or online tests?

Beepops22 · 14/11/2022 16:20

@carsty good luck! I have everything crossed for you x

carsty · 14/11/2022 15:27

@Beepops22 If Af dont show by thurs ill test the weekend.

Beepops22 · 14/11/2022 14:14

@carsty thank you. Fingers crossed for a BFP. AF not due until Friday so will test again at the weekend
I feel a bit crampy today as well
When are you hoping to test?

carsty · 14/11/2022 13:28

@Beepops22 oh dear, i hope you feel better soon...still a possibility since only dpo, some people bfp shows a bit later....im currently cramping so i might be out this month. af due in 3 days.

Egsnow · 14/11/2022 05:44

@Beepops22 sorry to hear that. Always next month! Hope you get better soon.
I've been driving myself mad over the weekend symptom spotting 😬 the wait kills me! Its probably all in my head but starting to feel a bit of bloating and felt a bit sick yesterday. Could have just been the massive roast I ate though 😂

Beepops22 · 13/11/2022 17:27

Had to have an x-ray done today, falling over my own feet again. So they had to do a test before they would x-ray me and was negative so think I'm probably out again this month as I am about 10dpo now if my app is correct.

Chloecloverxx · 12/11/2022 17:19

I'm 29 and been ttc for 8 months now! On my second box of Proceive so hopefully something will happen soon, my partner is 39 so I'm thinking maybe his swimmers are a bit slow

carsty · 12/11/2022 13:51

@Sunnygal @GeorgiaGK Well as they say we are not out until AF shows...I think its still early days some people get bfp days after their af is due...

@Beepops22 I wish I had your willpower! @GeorgiaGK @carsty my update is that I tested this morning with a frer and it was negative at 10dpo 😕 I'm starting to feel less and less hopeful. However I'm still very nauseous but maybe I'm coming down with something! How is everyone else getting on? @carsty maybe that's implantation cramps? X

Oh no 😢 I'm sorry to hear that but there still is a chance! I also tested today at 9dpo on a frer and negative but still pretty early I guess x

Hi all any updates today? Im cramping almost like when af is iminent and sharp pains. im due af in 5 days

Beepops22 · 11/11/2022 12:38

I'm trying to hold out until next weekend to test so that AF is officially late. 😬
No symptoms so not very hopeful again this month

Sunnygal · 11/11/2022 11:18

@GeorgiaGK ohh good luck for testing tomorrow ☺️ I have just had nausea, cramping and low appetite since yesterday but that could be AF on her way who knows! I done a test this morning at 9dpo and it was negative but again think it might be too soon. Ran out this morning to get an frer might take it tomorrow 🤭 x

Eeek that's so exciting! Fingers crossed it's our month. Haha I also bought a frer on Amazon last night so it should be arriving today 😆 the amount of money I've wasted on tests!! X

Hi @Anonrongirl ☺️ good luck for your bfp! Do you know when your going to test? I'm quite tall at 5'9 and a size 12/14 I walk everyday and try to get some high intensity exercise about twice a week, the eating part is hard tho I like food too much 🤣 sounds promising if you dtd every other day around ovulation, we can only try our best and then see what happens, fx for you!

Hey! So I’ve decided to sign up after reading these forums for a few months.I’m 29 and I’ve been TTC 1st baby since August this year with no luck so far. Last month I wasn’t sure if I had a MMC or strange period. I’m very regular 28 days (and have been my whole life even when I was on the pill I bled routinely) and generally ovulating around CD13-15 according to the OPK but last month I was a day late and on AF predicted date I had intense cramping and then she arrived a day later but more pink blood than normal. This month currently 7 DPO and DTD on ovulation day and every other day from CD9. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated! Fingers crossed for some BFPs!! Also anyone who has a high BMI but generally healthy (big boobs and bum but really short lol) please holla and let me know if there is anything different you’re doing except eating healthy and taking the vitamins (also taking COQ12, Chloine Bitrate, Vegan Omega 3, Vit D and folic acid)

Egsnow · 10/11/2022 18:45

Oh and due AF on 22nd Nov 👎🏻

Egsnow · 10/11/2022 18:44

@Sunnygal I'm only 3DPO so watching all your updates with interest. I've never taken any notice to my cycle before (mainly because I have been on the pill forever) so this is all new to me. Excited with caution is probably my feeling atm! I'm normally a 25/26 day-er and this is the first month I'm trying the ovulation sticks. All a bit of a faff really! But it'll be worth it if it works.
I'm taking the pre-pregnancy supplements from tesco to give them a whirl. Might have to get something else if I have no joy!x

GeorgiaGK · 10/11/2022 16:18

@Sunnygal I'm usually between 26-27! Fingers crossed this is the month! We used pre seed this month because I've heard some good things. Not really sure what I'm meant to be looking out for 😆

carsty · 10/11/2022 16:02

@Sunnygal I tried to track ovulation with some cheapies but was probly not doing it right and never had a strong peak as i usually just test on one day😅...but honestly im not sure if im ovulating but do get dull aches or cramps on my side as if i am...im not sure if my cycle is shortining due to hormones and or stress or just getting older😅...im due af in a weeks time.
